At MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, we understand the immense stress and emotional turmoil that birth injuries can cause. As a leading birth injury malpractice attorney in Florida, we are dedicated to helping families navigate the complexities of these challenging cases. Our experienced legal team is committed to securing the justice and compensation you deserve.
Birth injuries can occur due to various factors, including medical negligence or malpractice during labor and delivery. Common examples of birth injuries include cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, brain injuries, and fractures. These injuries can result from improper use of medical instruments, failure to monitor fetal distress, delayed C-sections, or other negligent actions by healthcare providers.
Evaluating Your Case
When you contact MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, we start with a thorough evaluation of your case. This involves reviewing medical records, consulting with medical experts, and understanding the circumstances that led to the injury. Our goal is to determine whether medical negligence occurred and how it impacted your child’s health.
Filing a Claim
If we determine that you have a valid claim, we will guide you through the process of filing a lawsuit. In Florida, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases, including birth injuries, is generally two years from the date of the injury or from when the injury was discovered. However, there are exceptions, so it is crucial to act promptly.
Building a Strong Case
Our attorneys will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and collaborate with medical experts to build a compelling case. We focus on proving that the healthcare provider’s malpractice directly caused the birth injury and that this malpractice resulted in damages such as medical expenses, ongoing care, and emotional distress.
Settlement Negotiations and Trial
While many cases are settled out of court, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial if necessary. Our trial experience and dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients set us apart. We will advocate vigorously on your behalf, aiming to secure the maximum compensation for your family.

What Compensation Can I Expect in a Birth Injury Case?
Compensation in birth injury cases can cover a range of damages, including medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, future medical care, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life. Each case is unique, so the compensation amount will vary based on the specifics of your situation.
How Long Does a Birth Injury Case Take to Resolve?
The timeline for resolving a birth injury case can vary. Some cases settle within a few months, while others may take several years, especially if they go to trial. Our attorneys will provide you with a realistic timeline based on the specifics of your case.
Do I Have to Go to Court?
Not necessarily. Many birth injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to trial to secure the compensation you deserve.
